cant open drives c and d

[colt357]

whenever i open drives c and d (both hard drives), nothing happens. i tried
making a shortcut of it, and when i clicked the shortcut, it shows an error
made by windows sript host, saying it cant find script file C:\documents and
settings\username\desktop\mymp3.vbs.

the same goes to my usb flash drive. i tried using other flash drives,and
still the same.

btw, i can open these drives through right click -> open.

That sounds like the problem cured by this fix.
Go to Start/.../Run and type :

reg.exe add "HKCR\Drive\shell" /ve /d "none" /f

Even if it fails to fix it, it won't harm anything to try it.

a few hours ago, i downloaded kaspersky antivirus, ran it and found that the
mymp3.vbs is a solomon worm-something. now, whenever i try to open drives
c,d, flashdrive, it keeps saying cannot find script file c:\mymp3.vbs.

i tried using your method, but still the same.

i downloaded and ran kaspersky a few hours ago, and found mymp3.vbs is a
virus, and deleted it. now, whenever i try to open drives c,d removable disk,
it keeps saying can not find script file c:\mymp3.vbs.

i tried your method but still the same.

It changed some entry for the drives in your registry. Perhaps, now that it
is gone you could use system restore.

i finally fixed the problem by using context menu editor. i can now access
drive C and my removable disk, but i still cant access drive D.

unfortunately, i used system restore, but still the same

Here's what I would try.. do a search of the registry for mymp3.vbs and
if found, edit the line to delete the filename. In other words, if the
line reads:

Explorer Mymps.vbs

change it to read:

Explorer

You can click File, Export, and save the entry to the Desktop. If you
remove it and there's a problem, double-click the .reg file you exported
to the Desktop and it'll be added to the registry again. You can create
a restore point before editing the registry too.

how do i search in the registry? should i look each one of those folders in
the registry through regedit?

Click Start, Run, type REGEDIT, click OK. Press the Home key, press F3,
type Mymps.vbs into the search pane. Click "Find Next", and when
located, edit or remove the reference to the file. (As I stated
earlier, it may be tied to a needed Windows function. If any questions,
post the line that includes the filename, Mymps.vbs.) Press F3 to
continue the search.

the file was contained in
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1292428093-1275210071-1177238915-1004\Software\Microsoft\WIndows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2\{41d98bf2-6c3e-11dd-914d-001d921d3c483\Shell\Autorun\command
and has the file name (Default). it contains this value:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\RunDLL32.EXE Shell32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL wscript.exe
MyMP3.vbs

it's pretty wierd that my drive D is the one affected by this, unlike my
drive C, which was fixed already.

Make a Restore Point, Export the Key, then delete the data value in the
r-h column.. I've never fooled with one this involved, but I don't have
a similar entry in my registry, and believe the complete final Data line
can be deleted:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\RunDLL32.EXE Shell32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL
wscript.exe MyMP3.vbs

All my entries listed under MountPoints2, that have _Autorun have only
the Default data entry, and a "Default Icon" key; none have a "command" key.

If the system won't start, try using "The last good configuration", an
option you'll see after pressing F8. Not very reassuring.. maybe
someone else has a better suggestion.

A window opened, saying "This file does not have a program associated with it
for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options
control panel."
i've also discovered that my drive D has an autoplay option in the right
click menu.

thanks bout the regedit thingy, i did some experimentation and finally fixed
it i changed the "wscript.exe mymp3.vbs" to "explorer.exe D:\ (or D)", and
it worked fine! but instead of opening to the same window, it opens in a new
window. so i used a set of of registry cleaners/fixers, and now, it opens in
the same window, and the autoplay option was removed too.

I have one other "additional" suggestion.

Download and install Ccleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/.

I am always wary of using registry cleaners. Howver, ccleaner seems to
be very good at identifying (and explaining) registry problems. In
addition:

a) You can choose which entries (if any) to delete

b) You can select the option to backup any deletions (in case you need
to restore the changes).

Run the program and click on Registry | Scan for Issues. Review the
complete list of registry "problems".

Even if you don't want to accept all of the recommended "fixes" or would
prefer not to make wholesale changes to your registry, you can still use
Ccleaner to identify and "fix" entries that obviously relate to the
previous virus infection (such as missing DLLs, invalid "run at startup"
entries, etc.).
